Woolsington: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you need shower tray repair in Woolsington?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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

Related advice

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Woolsington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Woolsington. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, 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.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
