How we handle shower tray repair in Fosdyke

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fosdyke

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fosdyke. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fosdyke, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When to call us in Fosdyke

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
