Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ouston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ouston

Common questions in Ouston
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ouston.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What else we do in Ouston
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Ouston?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting

- Who turns up on the day
