About our shower tray repair in Ardley
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ardley. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ardley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Ardley, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Ardley
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ardley and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
