Shower tray repair for Hanover homes

Shower tray repair in Hanover, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Hanover clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Hanover, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hanover. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Hanover

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Hanover?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hanover for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
