Shower tray repair near Hartwell

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our shower tray repair in Hartwell

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HP17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Hartwell

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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 whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Hartwell

How much does shower tray repair cost in Hartwell?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hartwell included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
