Trusted shower tray repair in Farnborough

Shower tray repair in Farnborough, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Farnborough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Farnborough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Farnborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need shower tray repair in Farnborough?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repairing versus replacing in Farnborough

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Farnborough customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price
