Fairlands: your questions answered
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Fairlands?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Fairlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repair or replace in Fairlands?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairlands
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
When to call us in Fairlands
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
Before you book anyone
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
