Shower tray repair for Fenton homes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fenton. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Fenton without replacing anything

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fenton and across Cumbria.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When to call us in Fenton

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Cast iron

FAQs for Fenton

Do you cover Fenton?

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fenton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
