What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
About our shower tray repair in Lyford
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Lyford
Do you need shower tray repair in Lyford?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Lyford
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lyford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX12 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 often lifts.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
