What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Shower tray repair at your home in Leamside
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Leamside
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Leamside included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Leamside?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Leamside
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
