How do you find where a Fenton shower is leaking from?

Sequential dye-test — cover the tray, run water only from the head, only from the fill valve, then only around the perimeter. Isolates the source within an hour on most Fenton jobs.

Can you repair a cracked tray without replacing it?

For hairline cracks in acrylic trays, sometimes — a glass-fibre repair kit lasts 3-5 years. For stone-resin trays and larger cracks, replacement is the honest answer on Fenton jobs.

Do you fix the ceiling damage below?

We can — plasterboard cut-out, replaster and skim as a follow-up phase once the leak is proven dry. Standard on Fenton restoration jobs.

How long does a repair take?

1-2 days for silicone or trap; 3-5 days if tanking has to come off and the tiles are re-set on a Fenton job.

Can you just re-seal around our bath?

Yes — a fresh sanitary-grade silicone re-seal on a Fenton bath or tray takes around an hour and is usually fixed-price per perimeter.

How quickly can you get to a leak in Fenton?

We aim to be on-site for water-leak callouts in Fenton within 24 – 48 hours; same-day where we can.

A shower tray leak in a Fenton home has four common causes: the waste trap seal, the tray-to-tile silicone joint, the tanking behind the tiles, or a hairline crack in the tray itself. Diagnosing which one takes 30 minutes of pressure testing; guessing wrong takes weeks.

We isolate each source at survey, dye-test where needed, and quote the specific repair — not a blanket "replace the shower" scope. Most Fenton leaks are a trap, silicone or tanking fix, not a full re-tile.

Bathroom Repairs in Fenton isn't a one-template job — every house we walk into reveals something different.

Fenton at a glance

Fenton sits in Staffordshire, served by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, with postcodes ST4. Fenton — the forgotten town — is a mix of tight terraces around the A50, ex-council semis at Mount Pleasant and pockets of new-build infill on cleared pottery land. Quick to reach off A50 and A5007 — useful when we're surveying several jobs in a morning.
