Shower tray repair near Hapsford

Shower tray repair at your home in Hapsford

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and movement when you stand on it, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hapsford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Common questions in Hapsford

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you cover Hapsford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hapsford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hapsford. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we work on in Hapsford

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
