Shower tray repair in Blaydon without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NE21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Blaydon
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Blaydon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What affects the price in Blaydon
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
