Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work 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. Somewhere like Wigginton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

- Chipped corners or rims

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Older homes around Wigginton may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Other services in Wigginton
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
