Shower tray repair for Breighton homes

Shower tray repair in Breighton, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

FAQs for Breighton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Common problems we fix in Breighton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Breighton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Landlord and trade work in Breighton

For anyone letting property in or around Breighton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
