Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Huncote

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Huncote as everywhere else we work.

Do you need shower tray repair in Huncote?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Huncote. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Huncote. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Huncote

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Huncote?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
