Shower tray repair near Broomfields

Shower tray repair in Broomfields, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and movement when you stand on it.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Broomfields

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Broomfields questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Broomfields?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
