Shower tray repair for Oakwood homes

Shower tray repair in Oakwood without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about shower tray repair in Oakwood

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?

Across the UK, so Oakwood is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Oakwood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Oakwood. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
