Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fraddam. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Fraddam

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you accredited?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Fraddam

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Fraddam, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Do you need shower tray repair in Fraddam?

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
