Landlord and trade work in Ashington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Ashington questions
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ashington. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot

Materials we work on in Ashington
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Do you need shower tray repair in Ashington?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
