Shower tray repair for Thwaite homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

About our shower tray repair in Thwaite

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Thwaite

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Thwaite questions

Do you cover Thwaite?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Thwaite and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price
