Shower Tray Repair in Sedgefield
Damaged shower tray in Sedgefield? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked shower tray
- A dull, stained or worn surface
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Shower tray repair in Sedgefield, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sedgefield
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover Sedgefield?
We do. We send a technician to Sedgefield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we’re called out for in Sedgefield
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Sedgefield

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
