What we’re called out for in Mowden
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface

How we handle shower tray repair in Mowden
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mowden and across Darlington.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Mowden
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover the entire of Darlington?
Everywhere in the UK, Mowden included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mowden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
