About our shower tray repair in Long Ashes

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Repair or replace in Long Ashes?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Long Ashes

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price
