Shower tray repair in Medomsley without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Medomsley. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for 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 whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Medomsley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

Common questions in Medomsley

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
