Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Holmside, County Durham
Shower tray repair across Holmside and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Shower tray repair in Holmside without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Holmside
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Holmside?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you redo the sealant?

What else we do in Holmside
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holmside. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Holmside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holmside as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why Holmside customers choose us

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
