Shower tray repair in Hook

About our shower tray repair in Hook

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Hook: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hook. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Hook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Hook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repair or replace in Hook?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

When to call us in Hook

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
