Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Shower tray repair in Frogmore, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Frogmore

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Frogmore

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Repair or replace in Frogmore?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Frogmore customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
