When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we are called out for in Boroughbridge

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Boroughbridge

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Boroughbridge?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Boroughbridge. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Boroughbridge

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
