Shower tray repair in Great Hinton without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Great Hinton

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work in Great Hinton?

We do. We send a technician to Great Hinton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Great Hinton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
