Shower tray repair in Wotter, done in place
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. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wotter as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
What else we do in Wotter
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wotter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
