Shower tray repair in Gayton Thorpe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle shower tray repair in Gayton Thorpe

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gayton Thorpe as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Gayton Thorpe

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

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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.

Questions from Gayton Thorpe

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Gayton Thorpe?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gayton Thorpe. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

What affects the price in Gayton Thorpe

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Get a quote

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gayton Thorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
