About our shower tray repair in Murton
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

FAQs for Murton
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Murton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What we are called out for in Murton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Chips on the edges

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
