Do you need shower tray repair in Hanley Grange?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Hanley Grange questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hanley Grange. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hanley Grange, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
