Shower tray repair in Ham

About our shower tray repair in Ham

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

When to call us in Ham

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Ham

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Ham?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ham

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ham. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
