Shower tray repair near Lower Heyford

Shower tray repair at your home in Lower Heyford

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Heyford. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Heyford

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Lower Heyford

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lower Heyford

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should you replace it?

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
