Shower tray repair in Drigg without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Signs you need shower tray repair in Drigg
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drigg
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drigg use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Take a look at our pricing.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in Drigg
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
