Shower tray repair in Hamsterley, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Hamsterley
A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in Hamsterley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What we’re called out for in Hamsterley
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
