Shower tray repair for Darfield homes

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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

About our shower tray repair in Darfield

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

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 early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Darfield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace in Darfield?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Darfield

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
