Shower Tray Repair across North Tyneside

Shower tray repair across North Tyneside: what to expect

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in North Tyneside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Repairing versus replacing

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption.

What we’re called out for in North Tyneside

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for North Tyneside

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you cover North Tyneside?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to North Tyneside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
