Shower tray repair in Horton-cum-Studley

Shower tray repair in Horton-cum-Studley, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, across ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Horton-cum-Studley: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Horton-cum-Studley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
