When to call us in Woodlands
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Woodlands contact us are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work

About our shower tray repair in Woodlands
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Questions from Woodlands
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
