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

About our shower tray repair in Exelby

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you have a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

In a village like Exelby, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Exelby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on. For a rural address like Exelby, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Exelby

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

Facilities teams at buildings such as Bedale High School can book us for changing-room showers too.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace in Exelby?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Replacement in Exelby means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
