Shower tray repair in Hook-a-Gate without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Common questions in Hook-a-Gate

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Hook-a-Gate

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
