Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

FAQs for Eldon Lane
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Eldon Lane?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What affects the price in Eldon Lane
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Eldon Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
