Shower tray repair in Fisher without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Common questions in Fisher

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Fisher

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

If you manage property in Fisher, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Fisher

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Most clients in Fisher get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Fisher

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
