Need shower tray repair in Hunwick?

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Shower tray repair at your home in Hunwick

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hunwick and across County Durham.

Common problems we fix in Hunwick

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Hunwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
