Shower tray repair near Rillington

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

How we handle shower tray repair in Rillington

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

Questions from Rillington

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Common problems we fix in Rillington

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rillington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
