Shower tray repair in Crawcrook without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Crawcrook
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Crawcrook
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims

FAQs for Crawcrook
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Crawcrook and the rest of Gateshead. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Crawcrook, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
