Hartford questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work in Hartford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hartford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Repair or replace in Hartford?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hartford. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hartford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

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.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hartford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
