About our shower tray repair in Chipping Norton

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Chipping Norton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chipping Norton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron

  • Stone resin

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

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 each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Chipping Norton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Chipping Norton contact us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Chipping Norton: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Chipping Norton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
