Shower tray repair in Farndon, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chipped corners or rims.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Farndon and across Cheshire West and Chester.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Farndon. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

When to call us in Farndon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CH3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
