What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Long Wittenham: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Long Wittenham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Long Wittenham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Common problems we fix in Long Wittenham
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
