About our shower tray repair in Great Oxendon

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Oxendon

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LE16 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Oxendon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
