How we handle shower tray repair in Great Oakley
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Great Oakley
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Great Oakley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
