Shower tray repair in Heart's Delight, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Heart's Delight

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Heart's Delight contact us include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Landlord and trade work in Heart's Delight

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Heart's Delight

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Heart's Delight and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
