About our shower tray repair in Dawdon
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, in stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need shower tray repair in Dawdon?
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Dawdon?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Dawdon questions
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dawdon. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dawdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
