Shower tray repair in Amble

Shower tray repair in Amble without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a crack across the base.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When to call us in Amble

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions from Amble

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Amble

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Amble. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
