Shower tray repair near Pudsey

Shower tray repair in Pudsey without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Pudsey

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

For anyone letting property in or around Pudsey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pudsey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Pudsey

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Pudsey. Prices don’t change with location.

Are there extra charges for Pudsey?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

When to call us in Pudsey

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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