Common questions in Sulham
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Sulham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sulham
Rental properties take more wear, 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
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.
