Repairing versus replacing in North Elmsall

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Shower tray repair in North Elmsall, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Elmsall

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

North Elmsall: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price
