Shower tray repair in Sadberge

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sadberge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Shower tray repair at your home in Sadberge

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

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

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Sadberge: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Darlington, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Sadberge?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why Sadberge clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

If you’re in Sadberge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
