Shower Tray Repair for Oxford homes
Damaged shower tray in Oxford? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- Damage from a refit or building work
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Oxford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Oxford
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting

Your questions about shower tray repair in Oxford
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Oxford. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
