DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Hawkridge questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it messy?

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawkridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Hawkridge

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawkridge. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hawkridge?

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
