About our shower tray repair in Gateshead
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When to call us in Gateshead
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions from Gateshead
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gateshead
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
