Shower tray repair in and around School Aycliffe: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in School Aycliffe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
