Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Settlingstones
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Settlingstones
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Settlingstones
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
