About our shower tray repair in Havercroft

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Havercroft?

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Havercroft

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Havercroft

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
