Your questions about shower tray repair in Grange Villa
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What affects the price in Grange Villa
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grange Villa. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Grange Villa
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Look out for these signs:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
