Shower tray repair in Wylam

How we handle shower tray repair in Wylam

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

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.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wylam use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Wylam

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Wylam questions

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Northumberland.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What areas do you cover?

All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
