Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
About our shower tray repair in Shellingford
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Common questions in Shellingford
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
When to call us in Shellingford
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What else we do in Shellingford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
