Shower Tray Repair for Wykin homes
Shower tray repair in and around Wykin: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a village or hamlet like Wykin, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Shower tray repair in Wykin without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
For a rural address like Wykin, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. For a rural home like those around Wykin, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Wykin
Do you cover villages like Wykin?
Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area.
Do you work for schools and businesses in Wykin?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send photos and details of the building.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Wykin?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wykin. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
