How we handle shower tray repair in Benson

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benson

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Benson

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What affects the price in Benson

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
