Shower tray repair in Scarcroft

How we handle shower tray repair in Scarcroft

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Scarcroft

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

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.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

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 may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Scarcroft questions

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Scarcroft?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you cover the entire of Leeds?

Across the UK, and that includes Scarcroft. Prices do not change with location.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
