Trusted shower tray repair in Capheaton

Shower tray repair at your home in Capheaton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix a crack across the base and damage around the waste, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Capheaton. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Capheaton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE19 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Capheaton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about shower tray repair in Capheaton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work in Capheaton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Capheaton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
