About our shower tray repair in Woolwell
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Woolwell. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woolwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Woolwell questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
