DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair at your home in Newbiggin-on-Lune

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Newbiggin-on-Lune and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

Newbiggin-on-Lune: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Common problems we fix in Newbiggin-on-Lune

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
