What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Hopwas

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Hopwas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Questions from Hopwas

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Are there extra charges for Hopwas?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hopwas?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
