Shower tray repair in Hackness without replacing anything

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hackness and across Somerset.

Hackness questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, 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 damage the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hackness
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common problems we fix in Hackness
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
