Shower tray repair in Middlestone Moor

Shower tray repair at your home in Middlestone Moor

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. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Middlestone Moor and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Middlestone Moor

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Middlestone Moor

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Middlestone Moor contact us are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Middlestone Moor: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What happens if you find more damage?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
