How we handle shower tray repair in Frieth

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Frieth questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frieth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Frieth

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Frieth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Signs you need shower tray repair in Frieth

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
