How we handle shower tray repair in Great Oakley
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Oakley. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Great Oakley
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
