Shower tray repair near Wilton

Shower tray repair in Wilton without replacing anything

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. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wilton and across Cumbria.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wilton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Wilton?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Wilton: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
