Shower tray repair at your home in Stean

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stean and across North Yorkshire.

What affects the price in Stean

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Stean

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

Signs you need shower tray repair in Stean

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Stean: your questions answered

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Stean?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Landlord and trade work in Stean

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
