Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Birling, Northumberland
Damaged shower tray in Birling? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
Shower tray repair at your home in Birling
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base, across ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Birling and across Northumberland.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Take a look at our full price list.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Birling?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Questions from Birling
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
