Shower tray repair in Dishforth without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims.

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

Common questions in Dishforth

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Dishforth

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
