Shower tray repair for Hopton homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Hopton

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hopton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we are called out for in Hopton

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Questions from Hopton

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
