Shower tray repair in Camperdown

About our shower tray repair in Camperdown

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What we do, step by step

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. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about shower tray repair in Camperdown

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Camperdown?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Camperdown and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repair or replace in Camperdown?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Camperdown

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
