How we handle shower tray repair in Halfpenny

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Halfpenny as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • 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

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about shower tray repair in Halfpenny

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Halfpenny. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Halfpenny

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Halfpenny use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
