Landlord and trade work in High Urpeth

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about shower tray repair in High Urpeth
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you need shower tray repair in High Urpeth?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
