Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Woodcock Hill

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Woodcock Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Woodcock Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

We don’t 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

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Woodcock Hill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Woodcock Hill?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodcock Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
