About our shower tray repair in Heighington
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Heighington
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heighington. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Heighington
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we are called out for in Heighington
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before booking anyone

FAQs for Heighington
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Heighington.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
