About our shower tray repair in Mount Hawke

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Mount Hawke and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Mount Hawke. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Mount Hawke

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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 may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Mount Hawke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Mount Hawke

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Mount Hawke clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Mount Hawke

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
