Shower tray repair for Woolston homes

Shower tray repair in Woolston without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, across enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

Your questions about shower tray repair in Woolston

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Woolston included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you come to Woolston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woolston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Woolston

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When to call us in Woolston

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Woolston. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
