Shower tray repair in Oldcroft without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

Repair or replace in Oldcroft?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oldcroft. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GL15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Oldcroft

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

Common questions in Oldcroft

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL15 postcode.

Do you cover Oldcroft?

We do. Technicians travel to Oldcroft from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Oldcroft?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
