Shower tray repair for Foxley homes

Shower tray repair in Foxley without replacing anything

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Foxley

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Foxley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Foxley. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SN16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Foxley

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Foxley?

We do. We send a technician to Foxley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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 generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
