Shower tray repair at your home in Pickhill

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pickhill and across North Yorkshire.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

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

When to call us in Pickhill

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Questions from Pickhill

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.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Do you work in Pickhill?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Pickhill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are there extra charges for Pickhill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
