About our shower tray repair in Fownhope
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic alike.
Homes around Fownhope often have showers added to older buildings, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead. Somewhere as small as Fownhope, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Fownhope
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material

Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Repairing versus replacing in Fownhope
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. In an older home in a village like Fownhope, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
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.

Common problems we fix in Fownhope
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
If you manage a building such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
