About our shower tray repair in Woodthorpe
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

When to call us in Woodthorpe
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Woodthorpe questions
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Landlord and trade work in Woodthorpe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
