Shower tray repair near Woodville

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair in Woodville without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Woodville and across Derbyshire.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common problems we fix in Woodville

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 generally come from dropped bottles.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Questions from Woodville

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
