About our shower tray repair in Kibblesworth
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Kibblesworth: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gateshead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Advice
Common problems we fix in Kibblesworth

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kibblesworth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kibblesworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
