When to call us in Hest Bank

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hest Bank. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hest Bank

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Hest Bank?

We do. Technicians travel to Hest Bank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hest Bank is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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