Shower tray repair at your home in Filham

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Filham questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you cover Filham?

We do. We send a technician to Filham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Filham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
