Shower Tray Repair for Woodditton homes
Problem with your shower tray in Woodditton? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we handle shower tray repair in Woodditton
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Woodditton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodditton. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Woodditton
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
