When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

About our shower tray repair in Birstall

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, 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 we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Birstall

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need shower tray repair in Birstall?

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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 can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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