About our shower tray repair in Woodway

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and a crack across the base.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Woodway: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

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 early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Woodway

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodway as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodway

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
