About our shower tray repair in Kirkthorpe

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Kirkthorpe

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkthorpe

For anyone letting property in or around Kirkthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Kirkthorpe questions

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kirkthorpe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What affects the price in Kirkthorpe

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
