Your questions about shower tray repair in Idle
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Bradford?
All of Bradford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Covering Idle
Idle is about 2 miles east of Shipley, in Bradford. Across the BD10 area, we come to you. Idle is one of 140 places in Bradford we cover. Our jobs stretch from Idle to Leeds (about 8 miles away).
All of BD10 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Streets in the area include Back Lane, Butt Lane and Park Road, and we cover them all. With the A657 close by, Idle is easy for our technicians to reach. Other places close to Idle include Thackley (1 mile north-west), Greengates (1 mile south-east), Apperley Bridge (1 mile east), Eccleshill (1 mile south) and Charlestown (1 mile west).

What’s near Idle
We visit homes around Church of the Holy Trinity, The White Bear Public House and Immanuel College and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Apperley Bridge station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre. A little further out are World of Sooty (1.3 miles west) and Westfield Bradford (3.2 miles south). Not far away are Idle Hill and Heaton Reservoir Nature Reserve.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Idle
Landlords, agents and businesses in Idle
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bradford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Idle use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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.
Common problems we fix in Idle
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
