Trusted shower tray repair in Bedburn

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Shower tray repair at your home in Bedburn

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bedburn as everywhere else we work.

Bedburn questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you work in Bedburn?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bedburn and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Bedburn?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

When to call us in Bedburn

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.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Bedburn, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Bedburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
