Shower tray repair for Heaton homes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

About our shower tray repair in Heaton

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

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 tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Heaton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

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

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
