Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Butterwick, County Durham
We travel to Butterwick for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair in Butterwick, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Butterwick
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Butterwick?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
