About our shower tray repair in Oakham

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy 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. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Oakham. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
