Shower tray repair in Hardwick

Landlord and trade work in Hardwick

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stockton-on-Tees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

About our shower tray repair in Hardwick

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Hardwick: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, 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.

Do you come to Hardwick?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Repair or replace in Hardwick?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Hardwick

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What affects the price in Hardwick

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
