About our shower tray repair in Middlesbrough

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  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
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TS3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Middlesbrough

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlesbrough

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Middlesbrough

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Middlesbrough. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

What affects the price in Middlesbrough

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Middlesbrough and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available 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 it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
