Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Shower tray repair at your home in Wolvercote
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairing versus replacing in Wolvercote
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Wolvercote
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Common problems we fix in Wolvercote
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
