Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Questions from Netherton

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Netherton and the rest of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Netherton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wakefield.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Netherton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Netherton clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Honest limits

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Netherton

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

  • Access to the area

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
