Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we handle shower tray repair in Low Walker
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Low Walker
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Low Walker: your questions answered
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Newcastle upon Tyne.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Low Walker?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
