Can landlords book you?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Shower tray repair at your home in Fox Street
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fox Street. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fox Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. 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, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Do you need shower tray repair in Fox Street?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
