How we handle shower tray repair in Woolston

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean 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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Questions from Woolston

Do you cover Woolston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woolston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Woolston?

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
