Shower tray repair in Trimdon without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trimdon and across County Durham.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
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.
When to call us in Trimdon
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
