What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair at your home in New Shildon
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When to call us in New Shildon
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
New Shildon: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for New Shildon?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We cover the whole UK, including New Shildon and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
