Shower tray repair for Hounsdown homes

Shower tray repair in Hounsdown without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix damage around the waste and chips on the edges, across acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hounsdown as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hounsdown

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hounsdown?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What we’re called out for in Hounsdown

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hounsdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hounsdown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hounsdown

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
