Shower tray repair in Hemyock, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hemyock and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Hemyock

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hemyock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Common problems we fix in Hemyock

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
