Trusted shower tray repair in Hook End

Shower tray repair at your home in Hook End

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Hook End: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlord and trade work in Hook End

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hook End as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Hook End

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hook End. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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 entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
