Trusted shower tray repair in Long Preston

Shower tray repair in Long Preston, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Repairing versus replacing in Long Preston

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Do you need shower tray repair in Long Preston?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Long Preston

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Long Preston questions

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Long Preston and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
