Trusted shower tray repair in Woodcote Green

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How we handle shower tray repair in Woodcote Green

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

FAQs for Woodcote Green

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Woodcote Green?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When to call us in Woodcote Green

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

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

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
