About our shower tray repair in Copley
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Copley
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Copley.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When to call us in Copley
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Copley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
