Shower tray repair in Woodhouse, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Woodhouse
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Woodhouse, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What else we do in Woodhouse
When to call us in Woodhouse
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodhouse. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Woodhouse get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Woodhouse
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Woodhouse: your questions answered
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
