How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we’re called out for in Castletown
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Castletown. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Castletown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Castletown
Do you come to Castletown?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Castletown and the rest of Sunderland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Castletown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
