Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

About our shower tray repair in Fishergate

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Fishergate: your questions answered

Do you come to Fishergate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Fishergate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What areas do you cover?

All of York, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fishergate

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Fishergate

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fishergate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
