Trusted shower tray repair in Soothill

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Soothill. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WF17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

About our shower tray repair in Soothill

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Soothill and across Kirklees.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Soothill

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Soothill

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
