Our shower tray repair service in Darlington

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
Next we clean and prepare the tray.
We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

Multiple cracks across the tray
Leaking waste fittings
Damage below the tray that needs a builder

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse away soap after showering
Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

How many items we do on one visit
Where the damage is and how we get to it
How many areas need work
Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

What it’s made of, if you know
Details of any past repairs
Where you are, by postcode
One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Darlington: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
