FAQs for Fletchertown
Do you work in Fletchertown?
We do. We send a technician to Fletchertown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Do you need shower tray repair in Fletchertown?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
