About our shower tray repair in Woodgate
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Questions from Woodgate
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repairing versus replacing in Woodgate
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Woodgate
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
