About our shower tray repair in Hartwood

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Hartwood

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartwood

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hartwood

For anyone letting property in or around Hartwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Hartwood

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

Questions from Hartwood

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Hartwood?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hartwood and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
