Shower tray repair near Neepsend

Shower tray repair in Neepsend without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace in Neepsend?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Neepsend

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Neepsend. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Neepsend

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Neepsend questions

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Neepsend?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Neepsend?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Neepsend from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
