FAQs for Goring

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Goring?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RG8 postcode.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goring

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goring as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Goring. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Goring clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Our hiring checklist

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

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