About our shower tray repair in Hunsdon

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hunsdon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Hunsdon

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
