Shower tray repair at your home in Alnmouth

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Alnmouth questions

How soon can you come?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Alnmouth?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repair or replace in Alnmouth?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

When to call us in Alnmouth

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Alnmouth

If you manage property in Alnmouth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Alnmouth

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
