Shower tray repair near Sandsend

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlord and trade work in Sandsend

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Sandsend

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Do you need shower tray repair in Sandsend?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
