What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the 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 usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace in Meadowfield?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Meadowfield
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Meadowfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Meadowfield and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What affects the price in Meadowfield
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
