Shower tray repair in Fotherby without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What else we do in Fotherby
Do you need shower tray repair in Fotherby?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

Questions from Fotherby
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Fotherby
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
