Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Firth Moor, Darlington
We travel to Firth Moor for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Shower tray repair in Firth Moor, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
