Book shower tray repair in Hernhill

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hernhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Hernhill

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Hernhill questions

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Hernhill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hernhill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hernhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hernhill

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hernhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
