About shower tray repair in Gateshead

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gateshead

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need shower tray repair

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
