About our shower tray repair in Pickering Nook
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Pickering Nook questions
Do you cover Pickering Nook?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pickering Nook and the rest of Gateshead. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pickering Nook. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Pickering Nook
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
