Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Woodstone Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Woodstone Village, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Woodstone Village: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Sunderland.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Woodstone Village?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH4 postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
