Shower tray repair in Shibden

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

When to call us in Shibden

  • Damage around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Comparing quotes

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Shibden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

FAQs for Shibden

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
