What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Shower tray repair at your home in Ebchester

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Ebchester

Which areas do you work in?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairing versus replacing in Ebchester

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Ebchester and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
