How we handle shower tray repair in Lambton
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What else we do in Lambton
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
When to call us in Lambton
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lambton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lambton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Lambton: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Lambton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lambton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
