10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle shower tray repair in Hawkwell

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Questions from Hawkwell

Are there extra charges for Hawkwell?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Hawkwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
