Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

How we handle shower tray repair in Jarrow

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

When to call us in Jarrow

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlords, agents and businesses in Jarrow

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Jarrow

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
