Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

FAQs for Middle Assendon

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Middle Assendon and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Middle Assendon

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Middle Assendon. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
