Shower tray repair in Farnham without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Farnham
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Farnham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Farnham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP17 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Repairing versus replacing in Farnham

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Farnham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Farnham
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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 heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

How to get a price
