How we handle shower tray repair in Fern

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fern

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Fern included. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Fern

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fern. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fern

For anyone letting property in or around Fern, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
