About our shower tray repair in Hinton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the seal every few months
Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
The material
How much damage there is
Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

A picture taken from further back
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Details of any past repairs
A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Hinton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Hinton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

A tray that moves underfoot
Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

Cast iron
Enamelled steel
Acrylic
Stone resin
Ceramic

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

We check the tray for movement first.
We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
