Shower tray repair in Hatton

About our shower tray repair in Hatton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can usually put it right.

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Hatton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Hatton

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can landlords book you?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
