There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

About our shower tray repair in Choppington

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

Repairs by material

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 can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE62 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Our hiring checklist

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Choppington

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Choppington.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
