Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Longhirst

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longhirst

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Longhirst

Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Longhirst?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
