About our shower tray repair in Wheldrake
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Wheldrake: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wheldrake. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
