Shower tray repair in Oakgrove

Shower tray repair in Oakgrove without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Oakgrove

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common problems we fix in Oakgrove

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Oakgrove contact us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Oakgrove: your questions answered

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
