How we handle shower tray repair in Wiswell
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- 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 typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Wiswell
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover Wiswell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wiswell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
