How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Hargrave

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Hargrave?

We do. Technicians travel to Hargrave from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hargrave

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Hargrave

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
