Shower tray repair in Hartsholme without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Choosing a repair company

Hartsholme questions

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Hartsholme?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
