How we handle shower tray repair in Laisterdyke

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. We work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Laisterdyke

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Laisterdyke

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Questions from Laisterdyke

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover the whole of Bradford?

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