What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Shower tray repair at your home in West Hyde

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in West Hyde

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

FAQs for West Hyde

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
