Shower tray repair in Hinckley, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hinckley as everywhere else we work.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Hinckley

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
