Shower tray repair at your home in Redburn
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Redburn
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Questions from Redburn
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE47 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Redburn. Our prices are the same everywhere.
