Shower tray repair near Flaxby

Shower tray repair at your home in Flaxby

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flaxby

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Flaxby: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we’re called out for in Flaxby

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Flaxby. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
