How we handle shower tray repair in Yate

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and damage around the waste, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

FAQs for Yate

How long before I can shower?

Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Yate. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS37 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need shower tray repair in Yate?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yate

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
