Trusted shower tray repair in Sladesbridge

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Shower tray repair in Sladesbridge without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sladesbridge

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it messy?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step

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 for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll 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. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sladesbridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Sladesbridge

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sladesbridge. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
