How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure 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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Shower tray repair in Holbeck Urban Village without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and movement when you stand on it.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Holbeck Urban Village: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Holbeck Urban Village?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

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

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Holbeck Urban Village

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Holbeck Urban Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
