How we handle shower tray repair in Dry Sandford

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Repair or replace in Dry Sandford?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Older homes around Dry Sandford may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Dry Sandford

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste

Rented homes near Radley station (about 3.8 miles east) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dry Sandford. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere as small as Dry Sandford, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
