Shower tray repair at your home in Hooe Common

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting.

Homes around Hooe Common frequently have showers added to older buildings, and we always check the tray’s support first.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hooe Common. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hooe Common, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

  • Enamelled steel

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Older homes around Hooe Common may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
