How we handle shower tray repair in Sherburn in Elmet

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Sherburn in Elmet

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

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

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Sherburn in Elmet

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sherburn in Elmet. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
