Shower tray repair near Ousethorpe

Shower tray repair in Ousethorpe, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

Common problems we fix in Ousethorpe

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ousethorpe. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ousethorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Questions from Ousethorpe

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

We cover the whole UK, including Ousethorpe and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
