How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Shower tray repair in Townfield without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Townfield

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

FAQs for Townfield

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, 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.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Townfield. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
