How we handle shower tray repair in Brancepeth

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in Brancepeth

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brancepeth

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Materials we repair

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Brancepeth. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about shower tray repair in Brancepeth

Do you cover Brancepeth?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace in Brancepeth?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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