Shower tray repair near Lynemouth

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lynemouth

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Shower tray repair in Lynemouth, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Lynemouth

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Common problems we fix in Lynemouth

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
