Book shower tray repair in Ovington

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Ovington

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ovington. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

For a price in Ovington, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Questions from Ovington

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Are there extra charges for Ovington?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Ovington?

We do. Technicians travel to Ovington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
