Trusted shower tray repair in Hawkesley

Shower tray repair in Hawkesley without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Hawkesley?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Hawkesley

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Hawkesley

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
