Shower tray repair in Beamish without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, in acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Beamish. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Beamish, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
