About our shower tray repair in Thorpe on the Hill

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, we can generally put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thorpe on the Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Thorpe on the Hill

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
