Shower tray repair near Upper Batley

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Shower tray repair in Upper Batley without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

FAQs for Upper Batley

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Common problems we fix in Upper Batley

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Batley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Batley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
