Trusted shower tray repair in Hanford

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Hanford

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
