Need shower tray repair in Hare Hatch?

Hare Hatch: your questions answered

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Shower tray repair in Hare Hatch, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hare Hatch

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hare Hatch. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • 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 over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hare Hatch

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hare Hatch. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

Common problems we fix in Hare Hatch

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
