Shower tray repair in Bradford

Shower tray repair at your home in Bradford

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bradford and across Greater Manchester.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bradford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bradford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Bradford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
