Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Shower tray repair in Stanshope without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanshope

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stanshope

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Stanshope

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stanshope. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
