Shower tray repair for Wark homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Wark

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wark

For anyone letting property in or around Wark, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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

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.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wark. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wark. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Wark questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Wark?

We do. We send a technician to Wark for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Common problems we fix in Wark

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
