How we handle shower tray repair in Deighton

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Deighton as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Deighton

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Deighton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Deighton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Deighton questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Deighton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Deighton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
