How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LS23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Thorp Arch

For anyone letting property in or around Thorp Arch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorp Arch

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorp Arch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in Thorp Arch

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
