Shower tray repair at your home in East Rainton
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a tray that flexes.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When to call us in East Rainton
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Landlord and trade work in East Rainton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Rainton. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
East Rainton: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
