Shower tray repair at your home in Bothal
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Bothal questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need shower tray repair in Bothal?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.

- We clean up and give you the curing time.
