Shower tray repair for Holtby homes

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Holtby

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 repair lasts. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Holtby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about shower tray repair in Holtby

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

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 it’s worth repairing early.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Do you need shower tray repair in Holtby?

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
