How we handle shower tray repair in Butterknowle

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Butterknowle

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Butterknowle: 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.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
