How we handle shower tray repair in Thame

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Thame, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Questions from Thame

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Thame and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
