Shower tray repair in Gilmonby, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we’re called out for in Gilmonby
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes

Common questions in Gilmonby
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Gilmonby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gilmonby and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Gilmonby
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Most customers in Gilmonby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
