Shower tray repair in Grindon without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grindon
For anyone letting property in or around Grindon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the entire UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When to call us in Grindon
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
