Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair in Great Tew without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • 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, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Tew

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. 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, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Great Tew clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Tew

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Great Tew?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Tew and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we’re called out for in Great Tew

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure
