Trusted shower tray repair in Hanmer

Shower tray repair in Hanmer, done in place

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 is the case. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Hanmer: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Do you come to Hanmer?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we are called out for in Hanmer

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hanmer. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
