How we handle shower tray repair in Hartshill

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix a tray that flexes and damage around the waste, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Advice

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartshill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hartshill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hartshill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
