Shower tray repair in Shildon, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Shildon
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shildon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
