How we handle shower tray repair in Easington Colliery

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and chips on the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Easington Colliery: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Easington Colliery?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Easington Colliery, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Easington Colliery

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SR8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
