Shower tray repair near Oxbridge

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Oxbridge: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Are there extra charges for Oxbridge?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Oxbridge?

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

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlord and trade work in Oxbridge

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in Oxbridge

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Oxbridge and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Oxbridge

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
