Shower tray repair at your home in Woodcock Hill

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Woodcock Hill questions

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Woodcock Hill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woodcock Hill. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

What we’re called out for in Woodcock Hill

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.
