Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Great Ouseburn, done in place

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’s the case. We work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Great Ouseburn

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Great Ouseburn

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover Great Ouseburn?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Great Ouseburn and the rest of York. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Great Ouseburn?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
