Shower tray repair for Newton Aycliffe homes

Shower tray repair in Newton Aycliffe, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Take a look at our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it 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. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

FAQs for Newton Aycliffe

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Newton Aycliffe?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL5 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
