Questions from Seaton Burn
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Seaton Burn?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NE13 postcode.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Seaton Burn
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Seaton Burn
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
