What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Woolacombe
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Woolacombe?
We do. We send a technician to Woolacombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When to call us in Woolacombe
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woolacombe. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
