Shower tray repair in Lealholm

How we handle shower tray repair in Lealholm

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lealholm as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lealholm

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Lealholm: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Lealholm?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What affects the price in Lealholm

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Lealholm, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
