Need shower tray repair in Sowerby?

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

About our shower tray repair in Sowerby

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sowerby and across Calderdale.

Repairing versus replacing in Sowerby

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sowerby

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sowerby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Sowerby

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Sowerby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sowerby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
