Shower tray repair at your home in Upper Hartshay

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Hartshay

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Upper Hartshay. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Upper Hartshay

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are there extra charges for Upper Hartshay?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Upper Hartshay?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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