Shower tray repair in Wildmill, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Wildmill questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What we’re called out for in Wildmill
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Wildmill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
