Shower tray repair in Owstwick, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HU12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we’re called out for in Owstwick

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Owstwick

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Owstwick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Owstwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Owstwick and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Owstwick

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Owstwick as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
