Shower tray repair in Hawthorn, done in place

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. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hawthorn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawthorn

For anyone letting property in or around Hawthorn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawthorn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Common problems we fix in Hawthorn

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
