FAQs for Wilcove
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Shower tray repair in Wilcove, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and a crack across the base.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

What affects the price in Wilcove
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilcove
If you manage property in Wilcove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Wilcove?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
