Is your shower tray showing signs of damage? From chips caused by dropped bottles to stress cracks from daily use, shower tray repair Woking homeowners need doesn't have to mean expensive replacement. Whether you're in a modern apartment near Victoria Square or a family home in Horsell, professional repair saves both time and money.
Woking's rapid development has transformed it from a commuter town to a thriving urban center with over 100,000 residents. The mix of Victorian properties near the station, 1960s estates in Sheerwater, and ultra-modern developments around Victoria Square means we encounter every type of shower tray issue imaginable. With 30 years of experience serving the GU21 and GU22 postcodes, we understand exactly what Woking properties need.
Modern shower trays come in various materials, each with specific vulnerabilities. Acrylic trays, common in Woking's newer builds around the town center, are lightweight but prone to surface scratches and impact chips. These typically occur when bottles or razors are dropped, creating unsightly white marks on colored surfaces.
Stone-resin trays, increasingly popular in premium developments like Victoria Place and Goldsworth Park's executive homes, offer superior durability but aren't immune to damage. Heavy impacts can cause deep chips that expose the white substrate beneath the gel coat. Without professional repair, these chips harbor bacteria and expand over time.
Ceramic shower trays, still found in many older Woking properties particularly in Old Woking and Maybury, develop different issues. Hairline cracks often appear due to building movement or thermal stress. These might seem minor but can lead to serious water damage if left untreated. Our shower tray repair techniques seal these cracks permanently, preventing costly water damage to floors below.
Enamel-coated steel trays, common in properties built between 1970-2000, suffer from coating deterioration. Once the enamel chips, the steel beneath begins to rust, creating an expanding problem. Professional repair stops this process immediately, restoring both appearance and function with our 12 months warranty protecting your investment.
Our shower tray repair Woking service covers the entire borough and beyond. Central Woking, including the bustling area around The Peacocks and Victoria Square, sees frequent calls for emergency repairs in high-rise apartments. The Westfield area, with its mix of family homes, requires our services for worn family bathroom trays.
We also cover smaller areas around Woking, including Pyrford, Send, Ripley, and Wisley. The prestigious Hook Heath and St Johns neighborhoods, with their substantial properties, often require restoration of premium shower installations. Mount Hermon, Kingfield, and Maybury are all within our standard service area, typically receiving same-day response.
Horsell Village, with its conservation area status and period properties, presents unique challenges. Many homes here have had bathrooms retrofitted into Victorian buildings, creating unusual configurations that require expert repair techniques. Our 30 years of experience means we've seen and successfully repaired every possible scenario.

Compare to Replacement Costs
Shower tray replacement in Woking typically costs £1,200-£3,000 including removal, new tray, fitting, tiling, and potential plumbing modifications. Our repairs save you 70-80% while avoiding 2-3 days of disruption. With 30 years experience and 12 months warranty, professional repair is the smart choice.
A penthouse apartment overlooking Jubilee Square contacted us after their designer black resin shower tray developed a significant crack. The property management company had quoted £2,400 for replacement, requiring the bathroom to be out of action for four days. The resident, a busy professional commuting to London daily, couldn't afford the disruption.
We attended the same day, identifying the crack as stress-related from building settlement - common in new high-rise developments. Using specialized flexible compounds that accommodate minor movement, we sealed and reinforced the crack before color-matching the black surface perfectly. Total time: 3 hours. Cost: £345. The repair, now 14 months old, remains perfect - beyond our 12 months warranty period.
A family bathroom near Horsell Common had suffered years of wear. Their stone-resin tray showed five separate chips where toys and bottles had been dropped. The parents of three young children needed a quick, lasting solution without bathroom downtime.
We completed all repairs in one visit, color-matching the beige tray perfectly. Our 30 years of experience meant we could advise on preventing future damage. Cost: £285 for all five repairs. The family saved over £1,800 compared to replacement quotes.
An elderly couple in Sheerwater faced a dilemma when their ceramic shower tray developed multiple hairline cracks. Replacement would require major work as modern trays are different sizes to their 1980s installation. Quotes exceeded £3,000 due to the necessary bathroom reconfiguration.
Our technician spent four hours carefully repairing each crack, then applied a new glazed finish across the entire tray. The result looked brand new and came with our 12 months warranty. Total cost: £425 - saving the couple thousands and avoiding weeks of disruption.
A Victorian property converted to flats had an unusual cast-iron shower tray with enamel coating - rarely seen today. The enamel had chipped badly, exposing rusting iron beneath. The landlord faced either expensive custom replacement or losing rental income.
Drawing on our 30 years of experience with unusual materials, we treated the rust, rebuilt the chipped areas, and applied a specialist coating designed for cast iron. The tray now looks period-appropriate while meeting modern standards. Cost: £495, compared to £4,000+ for custom replacement.
Initial Assessment: Every shower tray repair Woking project begins with thorough inspection. We identify the material type, damage extent, and underlying causes. This expertise, developed over 30 years, ensures we choose the perfect repair method.
Surface Preparation: Proper preparation is crucial for lasting repairs. We clean, degrease, and key the surface to ensure maximum adhesion. Any loose material is removed and the area is completely dried.
Repair Application: Using professional-grade compounds matched to your tray material, we rebuild damaged areas in thin layers. This technique prevents shrinkage and ensures invisible repairs. For cracks, we use flexible sealants that accommodate natural movement.
Color Matching: Our extensive color library covers hundreds of shades. For unusual colors, we custom-mix on-site to achieve perfect matches. The repaired area blends seamlessly with the original surface.
Finishing & Sealing: The final stage involves polishing to match the original texture - whether high-gloss, satin, or matt. We then apply protective sealers and ensure all edges are watertight.
Quality Guarantee: Before leaving, we test the repair thoroughly and provide your 12 months warranty certificate. We photograph the completed work for our records, ensuring any warranty claims are handled smoothly.
