About our shower tray repair in Charlton-on-Otmoor

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Questions from Charlton-on-Otmoor

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you cover Charlton-on-Otmoor?

We do. Technicians travel to Charlton-on-Otmoor from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Charlton-on-Otmoor?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Charlton-on-Otmoor. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Charlton-on-Otmoor

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
