Trusted shower tray repair in Newcastle Higher

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair in Newcastle Higher, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a tray that flexes.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newcastle Higher. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Newcastle Higher, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Newcastle Higher

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Newcastle Higher?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CF31 postcode.

Do you cover Newcastle Higher?

We do. We send a technician to Newcastle Higher for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
