Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
About our shower tray repair in Kirk Merrington
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Kirk Merrington
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, so Kirk Merrington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
Are there extra charges for Kirk Merrington?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kirk Merrington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kirk Merrington.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
