Shower tray repair for Woodcote homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Woodcote

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Woodcote

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Woodcote

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What areas do you cover?

All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
