Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What affects the price in Three Oaks

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Three Oaks. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Three Oaks

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
