Shower tray repair for Hutton homes

About our shower tray repair in Hutton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Hutton: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hutton. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Hutton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Hutton

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 we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
