Shower tray repair for Castleton homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Castleton

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Castleton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I book?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

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

Materials we work on in Castleton

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work 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 look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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 generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 quote, not a guess.

Advice

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repair or replace in Castleton?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Castleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Castleton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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