Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

About our shower tray repair in Woodend
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and damage around the waste, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodend
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodend use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Questions from Woodend
Does someone need to be in?

Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Woodend. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should you replace it?

Common problems we fix in Woodend
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
