How we handle shower tray repair in High Etherley
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in High Etherley as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Do you need shower tray repair in High Etherley?
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
