DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from North Dell
Do you come to North Dell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to North Dell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When to call us in North Dell
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
