- Repairs from £95

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Shower tray repair in Woodford Wells without replacing anything

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in Woodford Wells
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
What affects the price in Woodford Wells
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
