Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakerthorpe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common questions in Oakerthorpe
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
