Shower tray repair at your home in Willingham by Stow
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairing versus replacing in Willingham by Stow
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start 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.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, 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.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Willingham by Stow get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
What we are called out for in Willingham by Stow
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
