About our shower tray repair in Spittal

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Spittal

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Spittal. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

FAQs for Spittal

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you price it without visiting?

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
