Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Richmond and across Sheffield.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Richmond is one of 118 towns and villages in Sheffield we cover. We work right across the region, from Richmond to Leeds (about 31 miles away).

Our visits in S13 and S12 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From Sundown Road, Bramley Lane and Richmond Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you.

Further out, we also cover Sheffield (3 miles west), Netherthorpe (4 miles north-west), Upperthorpe (4 miles north-west), West End (4 miles west), Walkley (5 miles north-west) and Broomhall (4 miles west).

Common problems we fix in Richmond

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Richmond, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Richmond questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you work in Richmond?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Richmond?

The tray is usually 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
