Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in North Shields, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need shower tray repair in North Shields

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

North Shields questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why North Shields clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Tyneside and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in North Shields

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in North Shields and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
