Do you need shower tray repair in Long Hanborough?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Long Hanborough

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Long Hanborough. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Hanborough

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Long Hanborough

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Repairs by material

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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