About our shower tray repair in Hexton

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Hexton?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Hexton?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

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 Hexton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
