How we handle shower tray repair in Fulford

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Fulford

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

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

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Fulford: your questions answered

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you cover Fulford?

We do. Technicians travel to Fulford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
