Shower tray repair for Ryther homes

Shower tray repair in Ryther without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ryther. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Ryther, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Ryther: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LS24 postcode.

Do you work in Ryther?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ryther and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ryther?

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.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
