What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

When to call us in Woolstone

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Woolstone contact us include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

How to compare quotes

Woolstone: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Woolstone?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Woolstone. Prices don’t change with location.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What affects the price in Woolstone

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Woolstone. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
