How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Stony Heap
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Stony Heap, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Stony Heap?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. 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.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Stony Heap: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
