Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Fenham

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fenham

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Do you come to Fenham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fenham and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Fenham and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
