Shower tray repair in Darlington without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Darlington
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you work in Darlington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Darlington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
