Signs you need shower tray repair in Middleton

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

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Middleton questions

When can you do it?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS24 postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Landlord and trade work in Middleton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hartlepool and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Middleton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
