It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair in Ovington without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ovington. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, 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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Ovington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Ovington
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ovington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
