Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we handle shower tray repair in Grassholme
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Grassholme as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Grassholme
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Grassholme?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grassholme and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
