Shower tray repair for Forton homes

Shower tray repair in Forton, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Forton

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Forton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice

  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
