Shower tray repair near Fernwood

Shower tray repair at your home in Fernwood

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fernwood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Discoloured square shower tray restored with a new white finish

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Fernwood questions

How much does shower tray repair cost in Fernwood?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What affects the price in Fernwood

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need shower tray repair in Fernwood?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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