Shower tray repair in Oakford without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakford
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Common questions in Oakford
Do you work in Oakford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Oakford and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
