Trusted shower tray repair in Ryton Woodside

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

About our shower tray repair in Ryton Woodside

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ryton Woodside?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
