Signs you need shower tray repair in Pity Me
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

About our shower tray repair in Pity Me
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Pity Me?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Pity Me: your questions answered
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Pity Me included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pity Me as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
