Shower tray repair in Ryecroft, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ryecroft

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you cover Ryecroft?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ryecroft for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ryecroft?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ryecroft. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ryecroft

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Ryecroft

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
