Shower tray repair near Darlton

Shower tray repair in Darlton, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right.

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Your questions about shower tray repair in Darlton

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Darlton

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

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