Shower tray repair for Old Oscott homes

Shower tray repair in Old Oscott without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Old Oscott

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Old Oscott. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Old Oscott, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we’re called out for in Old Oscott

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Old Oscott

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
