About our shower tray repair in Twelve Oaks
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Twelve Oaks and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Twelve Oaks
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Landlord and trade work in Twelve Oaks
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Twelve Oaks, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
