FAQs for Huncoat

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How we handle shower tray repair in Huncoat

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

What we are called out for in Huncoat

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Huncoat. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Huncoat customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, 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. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
