Shower tray repair at your home in Kidlington
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Kidlington?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Kidlington questions
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Kidlington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kidlington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kidlington as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we are called out for in Kidlington
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
