Need shower tray repair in Halmore?

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Halmore

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

How we handle shower tray repair in Halmore

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

When to call us in Halmore

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Halmore

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Most customers in Halmore get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Halmore questions

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.

Repair or replace in Halmore?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
