Your questions about shower tray repair in Cornsay Colliery
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cornsay Colliery. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Cornsay Colliery
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
