Shower tray repair near Ainderby Steeple

Shower tray repair at your home in Ainderby Steeple

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ainderby Steeple

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ainderby Steeple use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What affects the price in Ainderby Steeple

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ainderby Steeple. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

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

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Ainderby Steeple

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Ainderby Steeple

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What information do you need?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
