Shower tray repair in Dalton-on-Tees without replacing anything
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. We’re often asked to fix scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Dalton-on-Tees
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Dalton-on-Tees
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalton-on-Tees as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
