Shower tray repair in Wilpshire without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Wilpshire
Can you quote from pictures?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Wilpshire?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Wilpshire
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BB1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
