Your questions about shower tray repair in Old Durham
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Old Durham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
