Shower Tray Repair in Headington Hill
Shower tray repair in and around Headington Hill: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Do you need shower tray repair in Headington Hill?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Headington Hill
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
