FAQs for Hareby

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hareby?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, 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.

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Hareby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Hareby

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
