Questions from Foxton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you work in Foxton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Foxton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Foxton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Foxton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foxton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Foxton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
