Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Shower tray repair in Darland, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Darland: your questions answered

Do you work in Darland?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Darland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Darland and the rest of Wrexham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
