Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillend

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Hillend

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Hillend is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hillend?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Hillend

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

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