How we handle shower tray repair in Oakley
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. 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.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

FAQs for Oakley
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Oakley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oakley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
