Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

New Brancepeth: your questions answered

Can you repair shower trays in a rental near Durham station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is typically quicker than replacing.

Do you come out to small places like New Brancepeth?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.

Are there extra charges for New Brancepeth?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn 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. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy. For a rural address like New Brancepeth, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Signs you need shower tray repair in New Brancepeth

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
