Shower tray repair in Oaks Tye

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Shower tray repair in Oaks Tye, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oaks Tye. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Do you need shower tray repair in Oaks Tye?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Oaks Tye: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
