Trusted shower tray repair in Henley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Shower tray repair in Henley, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Henley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Henley

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Henley

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
