Shower tray repair in Shotley Grove without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Shotley Grove
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shotley Grove, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
