About our shower tray repair in Widworthy
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Widworthy questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Widworthy. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Widworthy
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repairing versus replacing in Widworthy
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
