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 so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Osea Island and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Osea Island

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Osea Island is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Osea Island

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
