Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Wheatley Hill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Wheatley Hill
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Signs you need shower tray repair in Wheatley Hill
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before you book
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wheatley Hill
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
