Shower tray repair near The Hangers

Shower tray repair in The Hangers, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain 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. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing versus replacing in The Hangers

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in The Hangers

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Common problems we fix in The Hangers

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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