Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackfell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- A fixed quote before you book
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- No need to remove anything

Questions from Blackfell
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Blackfell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Blackfell and the rest of Gateshead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gateshead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
