Shower tray repair near Preston-on-Tees

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we handle shower tray repair in Preston-on-Tees

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Preston-on-Tees

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Preston-on-Tees?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Preston-on-Tees and the rest of Stockton-on-Tees. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston-on-Tees

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston-on-Tees as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
