Shower tray repair for Harswell homes

Shower tray repair in Harswell, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work.

Somewhere like Harswell, showers are often in converted or older buildings, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Harswell

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

FAQs for Harswell

Do you cover villages like Harswell?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you work in Harswell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Harswell. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Older homes around Harswell may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. In a village or hamlet like Harswell, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
