Shower tray repair near Hanchurch

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Hanchurch

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairing versus replacing in Hanchurch

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we are called out for in Hanchurch

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

How to compare quotes

Hanchurch: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Stoke-on-Trent.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Hanchurch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
