The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Branksome
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Branksome?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Branksome and the rest of Darlington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
