Shower tray repair in Hill Green

How we handle shower tray repair in Hill Green

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hill Green. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The type of damage

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

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

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 price.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hill Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

When to call us in Hill Green

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
