How we handle shower tray repair in Hawkedon

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’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, in cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Hawkedon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hawkedon?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Hawkedon, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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