Shower tray repair for Little Hallingbury homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Shower tray repair in Little Hallingbury, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Little Hallingbury

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Little Hallingbury. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you work in Little Hallingbury?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Hallingbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
