How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Flete

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Flete: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flete

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What shower tray repair costs

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
