What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from South Stainley

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

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.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Do you need shower tray repair in South Stainley?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Look out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Stainley

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
