Shower tray repair in Washfold

How we handle shower tray repair in Washfold

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 crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Washfold. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Washfold. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Washfold, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

FAQs for Washfold

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Washfold and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Washfold

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
