How we handle shower tray repair in Woodgate

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your B32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodgate

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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Woodgate customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

FAQs for Woodgate

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodgate

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
