Shower tray repair in Ovington, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Ovington

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Common questions in Ovington
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

What else we do in Ovington
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we are called out for in Ovington
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it

What shower tray repair costs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
