Shower tray repair near Woodford

What we are called out for in Woodford

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

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

  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair at your home in Woodford

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Woodford

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
