Trusted shower tray repair in Crowmarsh Gifford

Shower tray repair in Crowmarsh Gifford without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crowmarsh Gifford and across Oxfordshire.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Crowmarsh Gifford

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Crowmarsh Gifford questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Crowmarsh Gifford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX10 postcode.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote
