Shower tray repair in Howgill

How we handle shower tray repair in Howgill

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Howgill

Will there be a smell?

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

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Howgill. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What we’re called out for in Howgill

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
