Shower tray repair in Wheelock without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire East.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wheelock. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Wheelock
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Wheelock?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CW11 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What we’re called out for in Wheelock
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
