Shower tray repair in Harperley without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Harperley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Harperley. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 anyone letting property in or around Harperley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Harperley
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you cover Harperley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Harperley and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Harperley
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
