About our shower tray repair in Gayle

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Gayle

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Gayle

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Gayle?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gayle

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gayle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
