Shower tray repair in Hawes, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

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

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Hawes

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hawes

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
