Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair at your home in Hindpool

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hindpool as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hindpool. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
