Trusted shower tray repair in New Hutton

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Shower tray repair in New Hutton without replacing anything

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When to call us in New Hutton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in New Hutton

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in New Hutton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Questions from New Hutton

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in New Hutton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LA8 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
