When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair in Bilbrough, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bilbrough

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When can you do it?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Bilbrough

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
