What we’re called out for in Farhill

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. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Farhill

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Farhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Farhill, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
