Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wharfe

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Wharfe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wharfe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What affects the price in Wharfe

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wharfe. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlord and trade work in Wharfe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wharfe

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
