Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Greenside, Gateshead
Local shower tray repair for Greenside: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair in Greenside without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting, across ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 we’re called out for in Greenside
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
Questions from Greenside
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Greenside included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your photos

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Greenside, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
