Shower tray repair in Headington Quarry

Signs you need shower tray repair in Headington Quarry

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

About our shower tray repair in Headington Quarry

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Headington Quarry

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

How much does shower tray repair cost in Headington Quarry?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Headington Quarry

  • No need to remove anything

Landlord and trade work in Headington Quarry

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
