Your questions about shower tray repair in Henshaw

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Henshaw

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Henshaw get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Henshaw?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

What we are called out for in Henshaw

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
