Shower tray repair in Cramlington, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Cramlington
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Questions from Cramlington
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cramlington.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
