Shower tray repair at your home in Aycliffe

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a crack across the base.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aycliffe questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Aycliffe

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aycliffe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Aycliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Aycliffe?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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’ll get a fixed figure.
