When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Midhopestones

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

Common problems we fix in Midhopestones

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Midhopestones

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you come to Midhopestones?

We do. Technicians travel to Midhopestones from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

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

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
