How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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 typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rawcliffe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Rawcliffe

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of York. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What we’re called out for in Rawcliffe

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rawcliffe

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rawcliffe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
