Questions from Redworth
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How we handle shower tray repair in Redworth
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help.
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.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
When to call us in Redworth
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What else we do in Redworth
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What affects the price in Redworth
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Redworth. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
