DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shower tray repair in Craster, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Craster and across Northumberland.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Do you need shower tray repair in Craster?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Craster?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Craster from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
