Shower tray repair in Haswell

Shower tray repair in Haswell without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Haswell as everywhere else we work.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Haswell: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Haswell?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Haswell

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
