Hangleton questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

All of Brighton and Hove, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How we handle shower tray repair in Hangleton

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hangleton

For anyone letting property in or around Hangleton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to compare quotes

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
