How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Shower tray repair in Crossgate without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Crossgate
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Crossgate?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DH1 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What we’re called out for in Crossgate
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
