Shower tray repair near Gateshead Fell

What we are called out for in Gateshead Fell

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked

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 or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Gateshead Fell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Gateshead Fell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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 generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Gateshead Fell

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
