Your questions about shower tray repair in Howden-le-Wear
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Howden-le-Wear?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 usually the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Do you need shower tray repair in Howden-le-Wear?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
