How shower tray repair works in York

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the damage happens

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Common reasons people in York contact us are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is.

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
