Repairing versus replacing in Fairwarp

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

FAQs for Fairwarp

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Fairwarp is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

When to call us in Fairwarp

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
