Repairing versus replacing in Fothergill
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When to call us in Fothergill
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Fothergill
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover Fothergill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fothergill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fothergill. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
