Shower tray repair for Sacriston homes

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we handle shower tray repair in Sacriston

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Sacriston

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sacriston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sacriston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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