Shower Tray Repair in Gatehead
Problem with your shower tray in Gatehead? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle shower tray repair in Gatehead
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gatehead and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Gatehead: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gatehead included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Gatehead?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Other services in Gatehead
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
