Trusted shower tray repair in Aldbrough St John

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Aldbrough St John

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, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Aldbrough St John

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Aldbrough St John?

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
