Do you need shower tray repair in Wistow?
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Wistow
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Questions from Wistow
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you work in Wistow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wistow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What else we do in Wistow
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
