Shower tray repair in Headingley

Do you need shower tray repair in Headingley?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Headingley. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Headingley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Headingley

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are there extra charges for Headingley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for 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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
