Shower tray repair in Haughton-le-Skerne without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Haughton-le-Skerne
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
