Shower tray repair in Newbiggin, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common questions in Newbiggin
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Newbiggin?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbiggin
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Other services in Newbiggin
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- 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.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
