Shower tray repair for Little Smeaton homes

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Shower tray repair in Little Smeaton, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Little Smeaton?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Little Smeaton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Smeaton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Little Smeaton: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Smeaton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
