Shower tray repair for Hartcliffe homes

Shower tray repair in Hartcliffe without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Hartcliffe

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Hartcliffe: your questions answered

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Are there extra charges for Hartcliffe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hartcliffe. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Hartcliffe

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Hartcliffe

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
