Need shower tray repair in Frilford Heath?

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair in Frilford Heath without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Frilford Heath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Frilford Heath

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you come to Frilford Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Frilford Heath and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.

  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, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
