About our shower tray repair in Old Hurst

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Hurst as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Old Hurst questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Are there extra charges for Old Hurst?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Hurst

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
