Shower tray repair in Hutton

Shower tray repair in Hutton, done in place

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 are frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a crack across the base, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Hutton clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hutton. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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