Shower tray repair in Potter Hill

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Potter Hill, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

In a village like Potter Hill, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Potter Hill

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Potter Hill

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Landlords with property near Melton Mowbray station (about 2.4 miles south-east) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

What affects the price in Potter Hill

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Potter Hill

Do you work for schools and businesses in Potter Hill?

Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send pictures and details of the building.

Do you cover villages like Potter Hill?

Yes, we do: small places like Potter Hill are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere like Potter Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  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 any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
