About our shower tray repair in Dearham

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Dearham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Dearham

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Common questions in Dearham

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When to call us in Dearham

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

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. 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.
