Shower tray repair for Fishlake homes

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Shower tray repair in Fishlake, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Fishlake

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you cover the entire of Doncaster?

Everywhere in the UK, Fishlake included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fishlake use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fishlake

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: 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

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fishlake, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

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