Shower tray repair at your home in Wool

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wool. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wool

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Are there extra charges for Wool?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Wool

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wool as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Wool?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
