About our shower tray repair in Woodchester
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Woodchester and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Woodchester
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Woodchester?
We do. We send a technician to Woodchester for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive 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 or gets worse.
