Your questions about shower tray repair in Foston

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Foston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Advice

Common problems we fix in Foston

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

What affects the price in Foston

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
