Shower tray repair in Ryhope

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ryhope. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ryhope

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Ryhope

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Ryhope?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Repair or replace in Ryhope?

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
