Shower tray repair in Fartown without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fartown. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Fartown and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Fartown questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

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 can be filled and matched.
