Shower tray repair in Huddlesford, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. 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 chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When to call us in Huddlesford

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Aftercare tips

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

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Huddlesford

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your WS13 postcode.

Do you work in Huddlesford?

We do. Technicians travel to Huddlesford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Huddlesford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Huddlesford, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
