About our shower tray repair in Hopesgate

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hopesgate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Hopesgate clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we’re called out for in Hopesgate

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hopesgate. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hopesgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Hopesgate

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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