How we handle shower tray repair in Hyde Lea

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Hyde Lea: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hyde Lea.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hyde Lea

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Hyde Lea

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
