Shower tray repair near Hipley

Shower tray repair in Hipley without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Hipley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hipley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Hipley questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Hipley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hipley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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.

Enamelled steel

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What affects the price in Hipley

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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