Shower tray repair at your home in Ingleton

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and a cracked shower tray.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ingleton and across Darlington.

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
