Shower tray repair for Woodford homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Woodford

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Woodford

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Woodford: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Woodford?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Woodford. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Woodford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
