Shower tray repair in Netherwitton

Signs you need shower tray repair in Netherwitton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Netherwitton, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Netherwitton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Netherwitton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Questions from Netherwitton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
