Shower tray repair at your home in Wombwell
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, 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.
Common problems we fix in Wombwell
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A crack across the base
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repairing versus replacing in Wombwell
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
