Common questions in Ovington

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Ovington included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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 happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ovington?

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Ovington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Ovington

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repair or replace in Ovington?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our prices page.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
