Shower tray repair at your home in Middlestone

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Middlestone questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

Everywhere in the UK, Middlestone included. Travel is included in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Middlestone customers choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our pricing.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Middlestone

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Middlestone

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Middlestone. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Middlestone and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
