DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair in Donaghadee, done in place

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 crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a crack across the base.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Donaghadee. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Donaghadee, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Donaghadee

Do you cover the entire of Ards?

All of Ards, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

For landlords and businesses

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repairing versus replacing in Donaghadee

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. 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.

Why Donaghadee clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
