What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Faringdon

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Faringdon

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Faringdon clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Faringdon

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Faringdon

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Faringdon

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Are there extra charges for Faringdon?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Faringdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Faringdon, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
