Questions from Wallingford
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Wallingford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wallingford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Shower tray repair in Wallingford, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Wallingford
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wallingford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wallingford
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
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 gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
