For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Shower tray repair at your home in Woodville

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Woodville

Do I have to be there?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Woodville?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woodville for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Woodville

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Woodville. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Woodville

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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