How we handle shower tray repair in Horbury

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste, we can generally put it right.

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Horbury

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Horbury?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horbury as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
