Questions from Thornton le Moor

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton le Moor

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Thornton le Moor?

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
