Book shower tray repair in Runswick Bay

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle shower tray repair in Runswick Bay

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Runswick Bay: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Runswick Bay.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Landlord and trade work in Runswick Bay

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Runswick Bay as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we work on in Runswick Bay

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

What affects the price in Runswick Bay

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
