How we handle shower tray repair in Fairmile

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 repair lasts. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlord and trade work in Fairmile

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need shower tray repair in Fairmile?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

10 questions to ask before you book

Fairmile: your questions answered

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it messy?

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

Do you come to Fairmile?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Fairmile and the rest of Dorset. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

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

Materials we work on in Fairmile

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fairmile. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Fairmile?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
