About our shower tray repair in New Lambton
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Common questions in New Lambton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

When to call us in New Lambton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Lambton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
