FAQs for Heage

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Shower tray repair in Heage without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and chips on the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Heage

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Heage

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
