How we handle shower tray repair in Hoddesdon

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Hoddesdon

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hoddesdon

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hoddesdon. Prices do not change with location.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hoddesdon?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Common problems we fix in Hoddesdon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
