Shower tray repair in Low Fell without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and a crack across the base.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Low Fell
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Your questions about shower tray repair in Low Fell
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Low Fell and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
