Shower tray repair in Fishtoft without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fishtoft as everywhere else we work.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

If you’re in Fishtoft and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Common problems we fix in Fishtoft

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Questions from Fishtoft

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Fishtoft?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE21 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
