Shower tray repair at your home in Carlbury
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Questions from Carlbury
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Carlbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carlbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What we’re called out for in Carlbury
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 most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
