Shower tray repair in Hogpits Bottom

Shower tray repair at your home in Hogpits Bottom

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 crack does not come back. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges, in enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

  • Chips caused during fitting

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hogpits Bottom. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hogpits Bottom

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hogpits Bottom as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
