Shower tray repair near Escrick

Shower tray repair in Escrick, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Escrick and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Escrick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Escrick

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Escrick questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we are called out for in Escrick

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

Common reasons people in Escrick contact us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
