Shower tray repair for Piddington homes

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Piddington 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.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Your questions about shower tray repair in Piddington

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
