Trusted shower tray repair in The Handfords

Different materials, different repairs

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 can be filled and matched.

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 at your home in The Handfords

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

FAQs for The Handfords

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for The Handfords?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, The Handfords included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is there a guarantee?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in The Handfords

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in The Handfords

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ST18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
