Shower tray repair near Street Gate

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Shower tray repair in Street Gate, done in place

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. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about shower tray repair in Street Gate

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NE16 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover the entire of Gateshead?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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.
