Trusted shower tray repair in New York

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shower tray repair at your home in New York

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in New York, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Questions from New York

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including New York and the rest of North Tyneside. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New York use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
