Shower tray repair for Whenby homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Whenby

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and chips caused during fitting, across enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need shower tray repair in Whenby?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Whenby

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Whenby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
