Shower tray repair in Wantage without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- 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 normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Common questions in Wantage
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Wantage?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wantage. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What else we do in Wantage
What affects the price in Wantage
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Wantage
