Shower tray repair at your home in South Otterington

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When to call us in South Otterington

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to South Otterington. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What happens on the day

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. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

FAQs for South Otterington

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
