Shower tray repair in Low Hauxley

When to call us in Low Hauxley

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Low Hauxley without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Low Hauxley

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Low Hauxley, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Hauxley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
