Shower tray repair in Hensting without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hensting. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Hensting

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Are there extra charges for Hensting?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Landlord and trade work in Hensting

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
