Shower tray repair in Hilltop

Shower tray repair at your home in Hilltop

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hilltop. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Hilltop

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you come to Hilltop?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hilltop and the rest of Blaenau Gwent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hilltop as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Hilltop

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

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
