Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wilmington

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wilmington?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wilmington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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