Shower tray repair across Wimbish and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Shower tray repair in Wimbish without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

For landlords and businesses
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wimbish. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Wimbish: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Wimbish?
We do. Technicians travel to Wimbish from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wimbish?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
