Shower tray repair in Hornton without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Hornton: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Hornton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hornton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
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.
Common problems we fix in Hornton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
