Shower tray repair in Hollinfare

About our shower tray repair in Hollinfare

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and damage around the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hollinfare. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Hollinfare and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hollinfare?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Hollinfare

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the whole of Warrington?

All of Warrington, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
