Shower tray repair near Hutton Henry

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hutton Henry. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Common questions in Hutton Henry

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price
