About our shower tray repair in Athersley

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Athersley: your questions answered

Do you cover Athersley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Athersley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

What we are called out for in Athersley

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges

  • When it can be used again

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
