Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Woodthorpe, Leicestershire
Shower tray repair in Woodthorpe without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Landlord and trade work in Woodthorpe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Woodthorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Woodthorpe
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
