Shower tray repair in Hillend

Shower tray repair at your home in Hillend

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Hillend

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hillend

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Everywhere in the UK, Hillend included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price 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 there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
