Shower tray repair at your home in Low Etherley
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Low Etherley
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common questions in Low Etherley
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Low Etherley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Low Etherley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for 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.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Low Etherley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Low Etherley, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need shower tray repair in Low Etherley?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it

Repair or replace in Low Etherley?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
