Shower tray repair in Haltwhistle, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims, in cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE49 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Haltwhistle

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haltwhistle

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Haltwhistle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our pricing.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Haltwhistle

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Most clients in Haltwhistle get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
