About our shower tray repair in Oxlode
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Oxlode and across Cambridgeshire.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Oxlode: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic

Common problems we fix in Oxlode
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
