Shower tray repair in Abingdon-on-Thames without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Abingdon-on-Thames

If you manage property in Abingdon-on-Thames, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Abingdon-on-Thames

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you need shower tray repair in Abingdon-on-Thames?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Abingdon-on-Thames. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Abingdon-on-Thames, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
