DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Wilkinthroop questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wilkinthroop?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA8 postcode.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What affects the price in Wilkinthroop
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Wilkinthroop
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
