Shower tray repair in Farnham

Can I fix it myself?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our shower tray repair in Farnham

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Farnham: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farnham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Farnham

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

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

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
