Ceiling Damage Fixed in Wednesfield (WV11)

Case Study:  Tray Repaired

The Problem: A family in Wednesfield, WV11, noticed a persistent brown stain on the ceiling below their main bathroom, indicating a hidden leak from the shower.

The Diagnosis: The leak was traced not to the visible silicone, but to a cracked shower trap seal underneath the tray, made worse by a slight movement in the tray itself.

The Solution: Dave carefully accessed the waste, replaced the faulty trap and seals, and secured the tray. The entire perimeter was then stripped and re-sealed with a flexible, anti-mould silicone to prevent future movement and leaks.

The Result: The leak was permanently eliminated without needing a full tray replacement. The customer was provided with documentation to assist with their ceiling repair.

We also installed a modern water isolation valve to allow the homeowner to turn off the water if the need arises again and the customer also booked in a Boiler Service as the boiler had not been serviced in years.

Shower Tray Leaks Repair & Replacement FAQ


  • Where does a shower tray leak usually come from?

    Over 90% of shower leaks come from two places: 1) Failed silicone or grout along the tray-to-wall joint, or 2) A damaged waste trap seal beneath the tray. We check both and focus on ensuring the entire enclosure is fully sealed.

  • Can you repair a cracked shower tray?

    If the crack is small and superficial, repair is possible. However, if the crack is structural or near the waste, we usually recommend a shower tray replacement to guarantee a permanent, watertight solution and prevent future water damage.

  • Do I need to buy the shower screen before you arrive?

    Yes. We are professional installers and recommend you purchase the shower doors or shower screen of your choice beforehand. We then handle the precise and secure fitting, ensuring a perfect seal and smooth operation.
