Common questions in Aldborough Hatch

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

About our shower tray repair in Aldborough Hatch

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
