Shower tray repair in Parkgate without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Parkgate and across Rotherham.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Parkgate

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S62 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Parkgate: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Rotherham?

Everywhere in the UK, Parkgate included. There is no extra charge for travel.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for 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 typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

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

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
