Shower tray repair in Newmillerdam

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Newmillerdam

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface, across ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newmillerdam and across Wakefield.

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, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Newmillerdam

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newmillerdam

Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?

The entire UK, including all of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WF2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Newmillerdam

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
