About our shower tray repair in Usworth
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Questions from Usworth
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Usworth and the rest of Gateshead. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Usworth. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Usworth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need shower tray repair in Usworth?
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
