Signs you need shower tray repair in Fockerby

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Fockerby questions

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Fockerby?

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