How we handle shower tray repair in Leeholme
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. 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.
Leeholme questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Leeholme. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Leeholme
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Ceramic

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Leeholme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Do you need shower tray repair in Leeholme?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
