Shower tray repair in Northlea without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northlea
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Northlea, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Northlea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Northlea, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Northlea, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Northlea: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Northlea
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
Repair or replace in Northlea?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
