Trusted shower tray repair in Haighton Top

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How we handle shower tray repair in Haighton Top

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, across enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haighton Top use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Haighton Top

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Haighton Top?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Haighton Top. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Haighton Top. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PR2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
