About our shower tray repair in Newbiggin
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

FAQs for Newbiggin
Do you work in Newbiggin?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newbiggin for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Newbiggin?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Newbiggin
- Cast iron
- Stone resin

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Newbiggin
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Newbiggin

- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
