Shower tray repair at your home in Wilmington
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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 for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
What we’re called out for in Wilmington
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it

Questions from Wilmington
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hull.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
