Shower tray repair for Hewelsfield Common homes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book

Hewelsfield Common questions

Will you leave a mess?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Hewelsfield Common?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hewelsfield Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hewelsfield Common

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hewelsfield Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

When to call us in Hewelsfield Common

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
