Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bletchingdon questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you come to Bletchingdon?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bletchingdon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bletchingdon. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bletchingdon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
