Repairing versus replacing in Temple Sowerby

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Temple Sowerby: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

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

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Temple Sowerby. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need shower tray repair in Temple Sowerby?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
