Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Ceramic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Hatton

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hatton

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hatton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Hatton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hatton

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
