About our shower tray repair in Willingale
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Willingale as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Willingale. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
