Trusted shower tray repair in Lobley Hill

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lobley Hill

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Lobley Hill?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Lobley Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

What affects the price in Lobley Hill

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
