How it works

- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Shower tray repair in Oak Corner without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Oak Corner
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
