Shower tray repair in Postcombe, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Postcombe

Do you cover Postcombe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Postcombe and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Postcombe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Postcombe

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our full price list.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Postcombe. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
