Shower tray repair in Hilmarton without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

In a village like Hilmarton, showers are often later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hilmarton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Replacement in Hilmarton means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.

Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hilmarton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our Prices page.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

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.

Hilmarton: your questions answered

Do you cover villages like Hilmarton?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.

Do you take on commercial work in Hilmarton?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere as small as Hilmarton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
