Shower tray repair at your home in Woodbank
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. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Woodbank questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Woodbank. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Woodbank
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
