Trusted shower tray repair in Gleadless Valley

Shower tray repair in Gleadless Valley without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Gleadless Valley

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

What we’re called out for in Gleadless Valley

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gleadless Valley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should you replace it?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
