Shower tray repair in Grove

How we handle shower tray repair in Grove

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Grove?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Grove get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Grove questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Grove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
