How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Horne questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Horne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

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

Landlord and trade work in Horne

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horne use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Horne

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
