Shower tray repair for Fairfield homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Fairfield

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

FAQs for Fairfield

Are you accredited?

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

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Fairfield

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fairfield. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise 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 photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Fairfield

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
