Shower tray repair in Elswick, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Elswick
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
