Need shower tray repair in Ham?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Shower tray repair at your home 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 doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface, in acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What affects the price in Ham

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Ham

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

FAQs for Ham

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
