Shower tray repair in Hamsterley, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hamsterley

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL13 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

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

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you work in Hamsterley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hamsterley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hamsterley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse away soap after showering
Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Do not use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. 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, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Common problems we fix in Hamsterley

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

Damage around the waste
Snagging damage in a new bathroom
A cracked shower tray
A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Hamsterley

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hamsterley. The price reflects:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Unusual colours or finishes
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

A close-up of the damage, in focus
Something in shot to show the size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

We check the tray for movement first.
We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
