How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coundon Grange as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Coundon Grange
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Coundon Grange
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
