Shower tray repair for Oldford homes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Oldford. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our shower tray repair in Oldford

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Oldford: your questions answered

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Oldford

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Oldford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Oldford contact us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
