Shower tray repair near Hudswell

Shower tray repair at your home in Hudswell

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Hudswell: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you come to Hudswell?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hudswell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Hudswell

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
