Shower tray repair for Hales homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our shower tray repair in Hales

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hales?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Hales questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
