Do you need shower tray repair in Ainsty?

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair in Ainsty without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Ainsty

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

Everywhere in the UK, Ainsty included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LS22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
