How we handle shower tray repair in Ovenden
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ovenden and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Ovenden questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Ovenden?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What affects the price in Ovenden
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ovenden. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Ovenden
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Ovenden
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
