Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Hackford?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What affects the price in Hackford

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hackford. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hackford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

FAQs for Hackford

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Hackford?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
