Shower tray repair for Yr Hôb homes

What we’re called out for in Yr Hôb

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Yr Hôb, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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 happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Yr Hôb. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Questions from Yr Hôb

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Repairing versus replacing in Yr Hôb

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
