Questions from Ossett

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What areas do you cover?

All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How we handle shower tray repair in Ossett

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Ossett?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally 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.
