Hoo questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Shower tray repair in Hoo, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hoo

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For a price in Hoo, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
