Trusted shower tray repair in Northaw

Shower tray repair at your home in Northaw

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Northaw and across Hertfordshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Northaw

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northaw

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Northaw

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Northaw questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
