Shower tray repair in Boulmer

Shower tray repair at your home in Boulmer

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Boulmer questions

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Boulmer

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

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
