Different materials, different repairs

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.

Enamelled steel

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hirst

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Hirst?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Hirst?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Hirst?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hirst for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Hirst

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Common reasons people in Hirst contact us are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
