Shower tray repair for Hoveringham homes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair in Hoveringham without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Hoveringham

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Hoveringham

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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 generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Hoveringham: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Hoveringham?

We do. We send a technician to Hoveringham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
