Shower tray repair in Hill Dale

Hill Dale: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Are there extra charges for Hill Dale?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Hill Dale?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hill Dale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Shower tray repair at your home in Hill Dale

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Hill Dale

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

Do you need shower tray repair in Hill Dale?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hill Dale. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
