Shower tray repair for Hykeham homes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Shower tray repair at your home in Hykeham

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hykeham

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hykeham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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