Questions from Durham
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Other services in Durham
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
