If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Riddlesden

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK

Questions from Riddlesden

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we are called out for in Riddlesden

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
