Shower tray repair in Wilmington without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Our technicians cover all of the DA2, DA5 and DA1 postcode area and the streets around it. We regularly work on streets such as Common Lane, Parsons Lane and Oakfield Lane.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
Repair or replace in Wilmington?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When to call us in Wilmington
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Wilmington
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Wilmington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
