Shower tray repair for Farm Town homes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farm Town as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Shower tray repair in Farm Town without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Farm Town

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE67 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Farm Town

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you work in Farm Town?

We do. Technicians travel to Farm Town from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
