Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hayton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Hayton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover Hayton?

We do. We send a technician to Hayton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hayton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Hayton

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Hayton

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
