Shower tray repair in Hawkchurch, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
FAQs for Hawkchurch
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
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 will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkchurch
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkchurch as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hawkchurch
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
