How we handle shower tray repair in New Oscott
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

New Oscott questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you work in New Oscott?
We do. We send a technician to New Oscott for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
