Shower tray repair near Clifton

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

About our shower tray repair in Clifton

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 is the case. We work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clifton. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Clifton questions

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clifton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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