Shower tray repair for Hey homes

Repairing versus replacing in Hey

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Shower tray repair in Hey without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hey and across Oldham.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hey

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What affects the price in Hey

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
