Shower tray repair in Horn Hill, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Horn Hill. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Horn Hill

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

FAQs for Horn Hill

Can landlords book you?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
