About our shower tray repair in Oldcotes

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Oldcotes

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Oldcotes

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldcotes

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
