Shower tray repair in Hebburn without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Tyneside.

What else we do in Hebburn
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Hebburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not 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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
