Questions from Oad Street
Can I get a quote without a visit?

How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Oad Street. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Landlord and trade work in Oad Street
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Oad Street
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Oad Street, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
