About our shower tray repair in Heaton

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Heaton

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Heaton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Heaton

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Heaton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Heaton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Heaton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Heaton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
