How we handle shower tray repair in Great Chilton
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
In a village like Great Chilton, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we’re called out for in Great Chilton
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
Rented homes near Newton Aycliffe station (about 4.2 miles south-west) change hands frequently, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Advice

Repair or replace in Great Chilton?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. In an older home in a village like Great Chilton, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
Take a look at our Prices page.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Chilton
Do you work for landlords with property near Newton Aycliffe station?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price.
Do you cover villages like Great Chilton?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
