How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Ducklington questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Ducklington and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ducklington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ducklington

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
