About our shower tray repair in East Hartford

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and cracks running from the waste.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Hartford and across Northumberland.

What affects the price in East Hartford

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in East Hartford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes 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. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

When to call us in East Hartford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

East Hartford: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?

All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
