Shower tray repair in Thornton-le-Moor

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Thornton-le-Moor, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Thornton-le-Moor

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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 generally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Thornton-le-Moor

Are you accredited?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Thornton-le-Moor and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
