Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
FAQs for The Grove
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in The Grove?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to The Grove and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need shower tray repair in The Grove?

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
