Shower tray repair in Hope, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and a tray that flexes, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Hope

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

  • Staining and dullness across the tray

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hope

If you manage property in Hope, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
