Shower tray repair in Hilton

When to call us in Hilton

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Hilton: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Across the UK, so Hilton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Hilton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work in Hilton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
