Shower tray repair in Farcet, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
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.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Farcet
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
