About our shower tray repair in Kirkwhelpington

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Do you need shower tray repair in Kirkwhelpington?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

The process

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

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

  • Leaking waste fittings

Kirkwhelpington questions

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
