Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodthorpe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Woodthorpe: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Woodthorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Woodthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Woodthorpe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Woodthorpe
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Woodthorpe, and we will reply with a fixed price.
