Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What affects the price in Falkenham

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Falkenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Falkenham

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Falkenham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

When to call us in Falkenham

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
