Common questions in Shipton-on-Cherwell

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Shipton-on-Cherwell and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Shipton-on-Cherwell?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Shipton-on-Cherwell

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
