Shower tray repair in Whickham, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What else we do in Whickham
Common questions in Whickham
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What areas do you cover?
All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Whickham. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
