Honest limits

- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
FAQs for Sowood

How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sowood. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What else we do in Sowood
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Sowood?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
