Shower tray repair for Hartley homes

Shower tray repair in Hartley, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Hartley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Hartley

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
