How we handle shower tray repair in Redmarshall

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Redmarshall

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Redmarshall. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Repair or replace in Redmarshall?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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