Shower tray repair near Hatch

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How we handle shower tray repair in Hatch

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

Questions from Hatch

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Hatch?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Hatch, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in Hatch

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What affects the price in Hatch

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For a price in Hatch, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
