Shower tray repair for Oare homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Oare

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RG18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Oare

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the entire of West Berkshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Oare. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oare

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oare as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Oare

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
