Shower tray repair in East Briscoe without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

East Briscoe questions

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so East Briscoe is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How much does shower tray repair cost in East Briscoe?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around East Briscoe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
