How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
South Hetton questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in South Hetton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What else we do in South Hetton
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in South Hetton
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
