How we handle shower tray repair in Acklington
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.

Acklington questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Acklington?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
