Shower tray repair for Simonburn homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Simonburn

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What we’re called out for in Simonburn

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Simonburn: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Simonburn included. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work in Simonburn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Simonburn and the rest of Northumberland. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Simonburn

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Simonburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
