Shower tray repair for Fen Drayton homes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Shower tray repair in Fen Drayton, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and a tray that flexes, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Fen Drayton

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Fen Drayton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Fen Drayton questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fen Drayton. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
