Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not 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 normally cheaper.
Shower tray repair in Crawleyside, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it, we can generally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Common problems we fix in Crawleyside
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What affects the price in Crawleyside
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crawleyside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Most customers in Crawleyside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
