About our shower tray repair in Fremington

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fremington. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Fremington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Fremington: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover Fremington?

We do. We send a technician to Fremington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
