Trusted shower tray repair in Far Headingley

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

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

Shower tray repair in Far Headingley, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Far Headingley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Far Headingley questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Leeds. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
