How we handle shower tray repair in Broom Hill

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broom Hill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broom Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Broom Hill

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Broom Hill. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Broom Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Broom Hill

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic

Repair or replace in Broom Hill?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
