Common questions in Tudhoe

What happens next?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

We cover the whole UK, including Tudhoe and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Tudhoe?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tudhoe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, 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 we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

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 early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

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

Honest limits

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Tudhoe?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
