Shower tray repair at your home in Gatesheath
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Gatesheath questions
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are there extra charges for Gatesheath?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
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 you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Gatesheath, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
