Your questions about shower tray repair in Archdeacon Newton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Archdeacon Newton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Archdeacon Newton and the rest of Darlington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.

When can you do it?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Shower tray repair in Archdeacon Newton without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

We check the tray for movement first.
The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

When to call us in Archdeacon Newton

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

Scuffs and light scratches
Chipped corners or rims
Chips or cracks by the plughole
Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How the room is protected while they work
How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Archdeacon Newton

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
