Shower tray repair in Billingham without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you have a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.
In Billingham, shower trays get daily use in busy family homes, and wear and tear soon shows. Repairs are done without disturbing the enclosure.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Do you need shower tray repair in Billingham?
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Facilities teams at buildings such as Roseberry Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Billingham?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Around Billingham, a new shower tray rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
