Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tantobie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Tantobie
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tantobie
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tantobie as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
What affects the price in Tantobie
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
