When to call us in Low Risby

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Low Risby

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Low Risby questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Low Risby?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN15 postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Low Risby

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
