Shower tray repair for Farr homes

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Farr

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste, across cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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 whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Farr

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Farr. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Farr

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Farr

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

FAQs for Farr

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are there extra charges for Farr?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Farr

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
