Shower Tray Repair for Sheriff Hill homes
Local shower tray repair for Sheriff Hill: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Shower tray repair in Sheriff Hill without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
