How to compare quotes

How we handle shower tray repair in Friog

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Friog

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
