Shower tray repair for Wytham homes

Shower tray repair in Wytham without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Wytham

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wytham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
