Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair at your home in Benwell
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Benwell
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Benwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
