How we handle shower tray repair in West Boldon
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we are called out for in West Boldon
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
