Trusted shower tray repair in Hillhouse

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hillhouse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our shower tray repair in Hillhouse

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 enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace in Hillhouse?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Common problems we fix in Hillhouse

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Hillhouse

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
