How we handle shower tray repair in Fordell Firs

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and chips on the edges.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Fordell Firs

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your KY11 postcode.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What affects the price in Fordell Firs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fordell Firs. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Fordell Firs?

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Fordell Firs

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
