Shower tray repair in Bottom of Woodhouses

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Bottom of Woodhouses

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. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface, across ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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.

FAQs for Bottom of Woodhouses

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
