About our shower tray repair in Hook

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Hook

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hook

For anyone letting property in or around Hook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hook as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Most customers in Hook get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Hook: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
