About our shower tray repair in St John's Chapel
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St John's Chapel
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in St John's Chapel
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
