Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Manfield, Darlington
Problem with your shower tray in Manfield? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we handle shower tray repair in Manfield
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Darlington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
