Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

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

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Ferndown

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ferndown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Ferndown

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Ferndown

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ferndown?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
