How we handle shower tray repair in Oreston
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Oreston
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Oreston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Oreston: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Landlord and trade work in Oreston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oreston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
