Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Shower tray repair in Woodhatch without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Woodhatch
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Woodhatch
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
