How we handle shower tray repair in Okus
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swindon.

Questions from Okus
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places

Repair or replace in Okus?

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Okus
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
