Shower tray repair in Wooldale without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Wooldale

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 normally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Wooldale clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

Wooldale questions

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wooldale. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
