Shower tray repair in Leesthorpe

About our shower tray repair in Leesthorpe

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Leesthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Leesthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Leesthorpe

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Do you cover Leesthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Leesthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common problems we fix in Leesthorpe

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leesthorpe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
