About our shower tray repair in Hesleden

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our pricing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

Landlord and trade work in Hesleden

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hesleden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Hesleden

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Hesleden?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
