When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hardgate

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hardgate

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Hardgate

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
