About our shower tray repair in Royal Oak
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Royal Oak
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Darlington and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Royal Oak. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Royal Oak, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
