Shower tray repair for Haldens homes

Shower tray repair in Haldens without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Haldens. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Haldens. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Haldens and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Haldens

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Do you need shower tray repair in Haldens?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
