About our shower tray repair in Hale

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

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

Common problems we fix in Hale

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Hale

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hale

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 can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Hale questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to Hale?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hale?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairing versus replacing in Hale

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

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.
