Shower tray repair in Upper Arncott, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Upper Arncott
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Do you need shower tray repair in Upper Arncott?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
FAQs for Upper Arncott
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Upper Arncott?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Arncott and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Arncott
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
