Shower tray repair for Kirklington homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Kirklington

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. 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 the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

  • Cast iron

Repairing versus replacing in Kirklington

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Kirklington

Do you come to Kirklington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kirklington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Will there be a smell?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, 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 Kirklington?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
