Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Concord
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Concord. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Concord. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Concord: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When to call us in Concord
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
