Shower tray repair in North Oxford, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Questions from North Oxford
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in North Oxford
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Oxford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we’re called out for in North Oxford
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. 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 the curing time and the aftercare.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
