How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hawkshaw. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hawkshaw

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BL8 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkshaw

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
