How we handle shower tray repair in Wheelton
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wheelton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we’re called out for in Wheelton
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Wheelton
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PR6 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
