Shower tray repair near Bridge End

How we handle shower tray repair in Bridge End

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Bridge End

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

Landlord and trade work in Bridge End

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bridge End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Bridge End: your questions answered

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Bridge End?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How do I book?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
