Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Shillingford?
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Shillingford
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
