What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Shower tray repair in Ovington, done in place
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Ovington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Ovington: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Ovington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ovington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

When we would advise against a repair

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Ovington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Ovington
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
