Shower tray repair near Blackhall Mill

Shower tray repair at your home in Blackhall Mill

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Blackhall Mill questions

How much does shower tray repair cost in Blackhall Mill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE17 postcode.

Do you come to Blackhall Mill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blackhall Mill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long before I can shower?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Blackhall Mill

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackhall Mill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
